#1. NEW G. Loomis “Cross Current – GLX” Fly Rod, with rod tube. This is
a 9 weight, 4 piece rod and is 9’ long. MSRP is CAN $910. When you
need to use larger flies, longer casts and the fish get bigger, this is
the rod of choice. Permit, barracuda, jacks, big reds, stripers, blues,
you name it. A great rod in the wind.
It's the culmination of hours of research. It's the beautiful appointments
we've added to these rods to make them as enjoyable to look at as they
are to fish. It's the light weight, the power and the castability that
makes our CrossCurrent Series the most dynamic, most popular saltwater
fly rods in the universe. There are seven rods in the CrossCurrent GLX
family, all 4-piece travel rods, featuring Recoil (nickel-titanium)
guides and anodized aluminum reel seats with our "yin yang" cutouts
exposing a graphite insert with G.Loomis' iconic Skeleton Fish logo.

The power of water and jobs - transforming people’s lives. Half of all workers on Earth are employed in water-related sectors. Millions of them are unrecognized and unprotected. Better water, better jobs: World Water Day 2016.
March 14 is the annual International Day of Action for Rivers and Against Dams.
Every year, thousands of people around the world lift their voices to
celebrate the world's rivers and those who struggle to protect them. The
International Day of Action for Rivers is a day to celebrate victories
such as dam removal and river restoration. It is a day to take to the
streets, demonstrate and demand improvements
in the policies and practices of decision makers. It is a day to
educate one another about the threats facing our rivers, and learn about
better water and energy solutions. Above all, it is a day to unite – by
acting together, we demonstrate that these issues are not merely local,
but global in scope.
A Super Bowl ad that encourages water conservation has earned a spot on a fly fishing site, don't you think? :-)
Water conservation starts at home. Colgate encourages you to turn off
the faucet while brushing your teeth. You could save nearly 3,000
gallons of water a year. Together make every drop of water count. Take
the pledge, spread the word. #EveryDropCounts #bowriver | #flyfishing | #yyc
